THE REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH: A BIBLICAL VIEWPOINT

(Updated Edition)

ome of the more common and dubious schemes of a government’s forced transfer of wealth are high taxation, welfare programs, nationalization, and plain socialism. A fanatically control-hungry government implements ...

lthough Muhammad Ibn `Abdallah (the Prophet of Islam), contrary to the facts of his biography, is elevated to luminous heights by modern Muslims, the ultimate foundation of Islam is the Arabic Qur’ān. Indeed, a basic understanding of the Qur’ān is essential for a proper understanding of Islam.

And between your seed and her seed;

THE BOOK OF PSALMS: AN OVERVIEW

                The name of the Book of Psalms comes from the Anglicized “Psalmoi” in the Septuagint (LXX, Greek Old Testament dated ca. 250 BCE). The ancient Hebrews called it Book of Praises. To them, it was both a book of prayers and a book of hymns. Early Christians called it The Psalter, meaning, poems set to music. It is generally agreed that Ezra the scribe collected and arranged the psalms in their present order, by the progression of ...

IS YOUR MUSIC BIBLICAL?

                
                Music has spiritual effects as well as mental, emotional and physical effects upon people. Indeed, music has the power to move the passions to evil, and it has the power to lift the spirit of man to praise and worship the Lord God. Thus, because music serves as an emotional trigger that can be used for good or evil purposes, we assert that music has moral values. Therefore the type of music listened to or performed, should be regulated by ...

The New Evangelical Theology






Sound Theology Kicked Out of the Church

                Capitulation to heresy is one of the noted hallmarks of the New Evangelicalism, today's mainstream Evangelicalism. However, a careful look at the Example of the Lord Jesus in Scripture demonstrates that He never acted in love at the expense of ...

The New Evangelical Methodology

                The growing intensity and wider dissemination of the unbiblical mood of the New Evangelicals have led them to their unbiblical methodology. The New Evangelicalism adopted a new procedure for evangelizing the world, which procedure is now dangerously carried into other areas of ministry as well. The New Evangelical mood is the pregnant woman which gave birth to the New Evangelical method.

                Consequently, the obvious rottenness of their apple of methodology spread throughout their large theological basket; and ...

The New Evangelical Mood

                In 1969, the late Dr. Charles Woodbridge, the fourteenth generation of Woodbridge preachers, a Th.B. from Princeton Seminary and a Ph.D. from Duke University, wrote an insightful book warning of the deadly New Evangelicalism and calling upon the Church at large to adhere to Scriptural obedience. His brief introduction read as follows:

The New Evangelicalism is a theological and moral compromise of the deadliest sort. It is an insidious attack upon the Word of God. No more subtle menace has confronted ...

The National Association of Evangelicals

(U. S. A.)

            Organized in 1942, The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) has its headquarters in Washington, D. C. and claims Harold John Ockenga as its founder.

            Reduced from the formerly 160 members, the NAE is now (2005) governed by a 120 member Board of Directors. Its current president (2012) is Dr. Leith Anderson, the senior pastor of the interdenominational Wooddale ...

THE NATURE OF PACIFISM

                Modem American Pacifism constitutes a small minority in the United States of America. "No to War," "Stop the War," "Give Peace a Chance," and "Make Love, not War" are some of their pronounced slogans. One dictionary defines pacifism as "the principle or policy of universal peace; ...

The Bible on Adultery

                “You shall not commit adultery” (Exodus 20:14) is one of the ten great commandments the Lord God gave to mankind via His Prophet Moses. God's commandments are given for the protection, for the welfare and for the happiness of mankind. Like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky, a creature is fully satisfied only when he is fully in the place and the condition the all-wise and the all-loving Lord God has appointed for him. A bird ...

The Pentateuch: An Overview

                           GOD CANNOT EXIST IF NOT A TRINITY

THE MUSLIM ALLAH

LACKS INTERNAL DIVERSITY

                The God of the Christian Bible, however, exists as a Diversity within a Unity, as is evident in the Baptismal Formula: “baptizing them in the name [singular]of the Father and the Son and the Holy ...

KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD (3):

UNDERSTANDING THE SANCTIFICATION

OF THE BELIEVER IN CHRIST

            In reading the books of the Old Testament, the reader is frequently faced with the assertions of the holiness of the Lord God of the Bible. God’s holiness is the sum total of the positive and the negative aspects of His moral purity. Indeed, holiness is uniquely the substance of God (Exod. 15:11; 1 Sam. 2:2; Isa. 57:15), ...

THE NATURE OF SIN IN GOD’S SIGHT

            The judicial act of God in regard to sin is judgment (Matt. 11:22, 24; 2 Pet. 2:4, 9), accusation (Jude 9), damnation (Matt. 23:33; Mark 3:29), and condemnation (John 3:19; 5:24). God’s verdict of the sinfulness of every human being is based on the following:

1. Inherited Sin, the sin nature transmitted mediately by natural generation from parent to child (Psa. 51:5; John 3:6); this sin automatically generates the spiritual death of the person, at the moment of conception in the ...

Principles for Building Sound Bible Doctrines

                We believe that in addition to a steadfast belief in the unification of the Biblical materials, the formulation of Bible Doctrine requires all of the following: 1. the collection of the Biblical materials (the scattered facts and teachings in Scripture); 2. the identification of the essence of the particular doctrine; 3. the illumination from sources extra Biblical;   4. the development of the central interpretive motif; 5. the comprehensive ...

WHY WE MUST ATTACK ISLAM – 4^th Edition

            I attack Islam openly and without apology. I do it for the following good reasons:

1. The character of the Muslim Allah displayed in the Qur'an is very similar to the character of Satan in the Bible. This has led some Christian theologians to conclude that they are one and the same. I agree!  Islam is at once pantheistic & deistic.

           My Extended Analysis of Islam & Muslims
                                      4th Edition

          This analysis is made to give a brief overview of Islam, to the general public. In order to keep it as short as possible, I have refrained from my usual style of extensive documentation. Those interested in extensive documentation supporting these statements, must wait till my three upcoming books on Islam are finished and published. Otherwise, there is ...

THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FORMULATION

OF BIBLE DOCTRINES

            We believe that the Christian Holy Scriptures are the accurately recorded Voice of God, and are not the voice of men. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to systematize the major teachings of the Bible and to formulate them into Bible Doctrines accessible to the public. Built exclusively on the major teachings of the Holy Scriptures, we declare that Bible Doctrine is the sure basis for our unity and our partnership in The Truth. Indeed, Bible Doctrine is the consistent
norm and the decisive test for our cooperation in the Christian Ministry.

BRIEFLY: WHY I REJECT ISLAM?

            All the Scriptures of the Old Testament and all the Scriptures of the New Testament are centered on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Savior of the world:

Luke 24:27

"Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He [Lord Jesus Christ]explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. "

The Profitability Of Sound Bible Doctrines

                We believe that sound doctrine is The Means for exhortation and persuasion (Tit. 1:9), The Standard for righteous conduct (I Tim. 1:8-11), the words of faith which must be carefully followed (I Tim. 4:6), the highest sphere of ...

THE BLESSED TRINITY: THE CHRISTIAN CONCEPT

                Everything about the Lord God is beyond our human capabilities to grasp fully or exhaustively, because the Lord God majestically is outside the boundaries of human limitations. For example, we do not understand how God is without beginning and without end. We are incapable of understanding how is it that the Lord God is present everywhere. Yet these are truths that the Lord God has revealed to us about Himself, and we accept them by faith in His truthfulness and His inerrancy. Likewise, the revealed Trinitarian Existence of God is the most ...

DOES GOD HATE THE SINNER?

                There is a video by Mr. Bill Cribbs (Diasozo Ministries) circulating around Face Book, and claiming that God hates the sinner. I have watched this video, and I find some of Mr. Cribbs’ statements self-contradictory and in violation of God’s Word; therefore, I disagree with his interpretation and his conclusions. It is clear to me that Mr. Cribbs makes several Biblically and theologically unsound assertions and here is why I strongly disagree with his position:
